Honey = Lumped/Sticky Mass Pressed together

Strong’s #1706, debash. A lumped mass. This is the word for honey. From the root dabash (unused). Gesenius writes, “to work up a mass”. Feurst writes, “to be slimed together, put together by grease, as thing which is slimy, sticky, fat…generally to be pressed together (into a lump or mass). See dabbashet (#1707), camel hump.
